• Obtain ISPM 15 certification if end-jointed, though rough typically exempt; check for kiln-drying declarations
• Provide mill certificates showing no planing or sanding to maintain rough classification
• Avoid moisture content misrepresentation; high moisture may trigger additional fumigation requirements
